Chapter 185: Yingcheng Zhang Guozi (jingfgq Ten Thousand Rewards Plus Chapter)
"And the state dispatched good horses from all over the country to prevent the Khanate army from going south!"
When everyone entered Yingcheng, it was difficult to find mounts to buy and sell.
Li Hongru rode Lao Huang and attracted some passers-by to point out.
Qin Huairen finally used his identity to visit the local county magistrate, thinking of finding out the reason.
His father was the general of the Zuo Wuwei Dynasty in the current dynasty, and his official position was very high, and his face was far stronger than that of Li Hongru, the commander of the Jianghu Division.
The local county magistrate's surname is Zhang Minglie, and when he saw Qin Huairen, he immediately explained the reason.
"Is this going to war?"
Qin Huairen looked at the sparsely falling light snow, and felt that this was not a good season for fighting.
Li Hongru seemed to think of something, and then stopped talking again.
The matter of fighting a war is not something that Xu Maogong can decide.
Before the military headquarters gave an order, all the current work was mainly on defense.
Xu Maogong was disgusted with the king before, and there was a high probability that the khanate would go south to merge states.
This may be the main reason why the new thorn history took the initiative to transfer good horses from all over the world.
It's just that this transfer has made them a little offended, and it is difficult to find a suitable mount in Yingcheng at this time, most of them are crooked melons and cracked dates that pull goods, and it is difficult to act as a mount for a long journey.
Qin Huairen said for a while, and was willing to pay, and the county magistrate named Zhang Lie finally agreed to help everyone find some good donkeys.
The donkey resembles a horse, but it is not majestic and majestic, and it is difficult to use in battle.
But the donkey has a good quality of hard work, and it is not a problem to travel to the state on a snowy day.
Everyone temporarily settled in Yingcheng, but they were also a little anxious to return to the state.
It's not just that some of their belongings are placed in the state, and the big war will be together, and many turmoil will arise, and it will be difficult to be autonomous in it.
As children of a family, they also have some thoughts of making contributions.
The group found an inn, and Li Hongru went out to buy some paper and pencils.
After studying the ink, he began to write silently.
"Hug Puzi"
He was immersed in building a dojo in the future and practicing the "Book of Lei Han Tianshu", and he wrote extremely hard at this time.
If you don't make 100% progress in your study, you will need to go to Lake Wild Crane.
But no matter what, with "Hug Puzi" in hand, he will be able to have the strength of Lei Fa at that time.
Li Hongru thought about it, and he couldn't help but feel a little beautiful in his heart.
He rode Lao Huang, while everyone had been running for four days in a row, and they had already fallen into rest to recover their strength.
When he was so busy writing that he needed to light the lamp and candle, Li Hongru suddenly heard a murmuring sound outside the inn.
The voice is from the county magistrate Zhang Lie, and there are also some unfamiliar noises.
From time to time, it was accompanied by the cries of a few stupid donkeys, 'Ou-ah-oh-oh-oh'.
It's time to buy the right donkey.
But there may be some unnegotiated prices in terms of price, and when Li Hongru's ears were pricked up to eavesdrop, he had already heard the sound of bargaining.
Many mounts were drawn, and the price of some of the livestock that could run away was also rising.
The horses with crooked melons and cracked dates are no exception, and the little donkeys are also rising in value.
It is no wonder that when Qin Huairen asked Zhang Lie to buy a donkey, the other party was still a little embarrassed.
This is probably due to the fact that the money given is not enough.
"Brothers, get up!"
Li Hongru put down his pen and sorted out "Hug Puzi" a little, and then went to knock on the doors of various wings and called out to the sleepy people.
"What? Less money? ”
Qin Huairen shook his head and was confused for a few seconds before he came to his senses.
At the beginning, they saved to survive in the wild, hunting and plundering groups, and they didn't have much money on them.
But Qin Huairen didn't expect to empty his pocket and make up nearly a hundred taels of silver, which was not enough to buy eight little donkeys.
"You'll lend me some more money in a moment!"
Qin Huairen had a toothache on his face.
He had never thought in his life of owing an account to the son of a cloth shop owner.
But he owes Li Hongru a lot of money to buy Nayu, and now he owes a few donkeys.
Accustomed to owing money, he also pulled his face down at this time and began to borrow money.
"Okay" Li Hongru smiled: "You remember to pay me back, especially the eight hundred taels, I am very anxious." ”
"I'll go to Qianzhuang when I go back to Bingzhou, and you'll have a lot of money!"
Qin Huairen patted his chest and promised to come down, and then he took the sleepy-eyed people out of the inn.
At this time, Zhang Lie was bargaining with an old man.
"Official, if you have another twenty taels, these eight little donkeys will all be yours."
"Zhang Guozi, I didn't expect you to be quite good at speculative business, if it weren't for me, how could your Tongxuanguan still be opened."
"Let's not talk about the past, sir, it's not easy for my donkeys to raise, they have been working hard with me for fifteen years, for fifteen years, even if you have one or two silver a year, then you have to sell this amount."
"You just, I didn't know that you only raised a donkey through the metaphysical temple, you bought it at a low price, sold it at a high price, and made a fortune in a troubled world."
"Then I dare to buy the goods, if I am not careful, I will lose all my money, and I still owe the loan shark of the money bank."
……
Zhang Lie and the donkey seller are acquaintances.
Yingcheng is a small place, and when it was about to get dark, the officials went home again, and Zhang Lie had to do some things himself.
He went out at this time, but the donkey seller was quite faceless, and the price did not fall.
There was a lot of noise, and Zhang Lie had no choice, so in the end he could only lead the donkey to the inn to pull the skin.
He can help Qin Huairen and the others, but he has not yet fallen to the point of subsidizing Qin Huairen and the others.
If he really wanted to take out twenty taels of silver, Zhang Lie would really not be able to take it out for a while.
After making a fuss for a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Huairen and others come out.
sang back and forth to play against the stage, and finally alarmed this group of masters.
"Ladies and gentlemen, forgive Zhang Lie's limited ability, this donkey seller is a little stubborn, and the price can't be negotiated!"
Seeing everyone, Zhang Lie spread his hands and described again, which made everyone immediately understand the truth.
"Now the donkey is at this price" Zhang Guozi said: "These little donkeys are still sold cheaply, if it weren't for Lord Zhang's affection, I would definitely sell others, if I feed them for a period of time and wait before selling, the price will definitely be higher." ”
As soon as the old man who sold the donkey spoke, Qin Huairen immediately looked at Li Hongru.
If he is not mistaken, Li Hongru has chewed more than eight donkeys in his stomach in the past few days.
Li Hongru's money is taken out casually, and the problem can be solved perfectly by randomness.
With their status, they won't be blushing for these twenty taels.
"Okay, then I'll lend you twenty taels!"
When he left the inn, Li Hongru had already prepared.
He took it into his sleeve pocket, and a lot of broken silver suddenly slipped into the palm of his hand.
"Twenty taels, no more, no less!" Li Hongru raised his hand and said.
He handed out the silver, and Zhang Guozi immediately handed over the reins that were holding many donkeys.
Everyone looked at the dwarf donkey in front of them, and finally had to accept this mount.
'Oh-ah-ah! ’
The donkeys let out a cry and accepted the ride of their new masters.
When everyone drew a small whip from the donkey, these donkeys suddenly trotted together.
The little donkey is less capable of carrying a man than a bad horse, and his speed is slower, but he is better than running on his own legs.
After all, there are still many advantages of four legs.
According to the speed of the little donkey, everyone should be able to see the city of Bingzhou after riding for more than ten days.
Everyone went back and forth, but they didn't notice any illness or injury on the donkey, and they were quite satisfied.
"It's okay, barely enough to rush!"
Qin Huairen, who rode a donkey for the first time in his life, suddenly came to a conclusion.
"Barely enough!"
"I think it's fun to ride a donkey!"
"Suddenly, they look good."
Everyone immediately opened their mouths.
If nothing else, these donkeys are the best long-distance mounts in Yingcheng at the moment, and they are completely picky.
Li Hongru looked at the people with satisfied and tangled faces, and glanced at Lao Huang, who was chewing hay in the stable in the distance, and he felt that he was really happy.
"I always feel like something is wrong with these donkeys!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's stupid, it's just a bunch of stupid."
"Donkeys aren't just stupid."
"But they're too much."
Li Wuji went around in a circle, and couldn't help but talk to Li Hongru about his riding feelings.
I don't know how these donkeys are usually trained, but his donkey keeps moving forward even if he hits his head against the wall.
Li Wuji felt that this kind of road blind man was too bad, and he had no consciousness of a horse at all.
He nagged and complained a lot, and Li Hongru could only stand him.
It's good to have a mount, how can you be so picky.
But when Li Wuji pointed at his mount, which was called 'Idiot', Li Hongru really noticed that something was wrong.
The little donkey is indeed a bit overdone.
The nerd's mount was blinded, as if his heart was dead and he knew nothing but hard work.
Let's go, let's stop, even if there is a wall in front of you, dare to go.
The donkey's movements seem too mechanical.
When he looked intently, he was even more vaguely aware that something was wrong, as if there was a hidden sense of unreality.
The next moment, Li Hongru's heavenly eyes opened.
Next to the people who were in a slightly complicated mood, it was a white paper donkey.
